This is my favourite way to eat fish and chips; made with flathead fish and a crunchy golden beer batter with tartare sauce! You won't need to head out for fish and chips with this recipe.

2 - Steamed Fish With Ginger

This is my mother's recipe for a whole steamed fish with ginger and soy. It's simple but a delicious classic Chinese dish.

3 - Fish Pie Mashed Potato

What is a fish pie without mashed potato on top? And it's even better when that potato is super crispy and spiked with lemon. Seriously yummy!

4 - Paper Bag Chilli Snapper

I'm super proud of this recipe because I love spicy food but also because this looks amazing when you cook it and reveal it all. There's something so theatrical about unwrapping a perfectly cooked fish!

5 - Miso Salmon

OK OK I know not everyone wants to make a whole fish or something theatrical. So here is my very favourite way of cooking salmon with white miso glaze with just 5 ingredients! It's based on the famous Nobu miso cod but simpler!

So tell me Dear Reader, do you eat fish on Good Friday? Which dish would you eat?
